Creating business models made easy – achieve success with BOKU:BASE!

Do you have an innovative idea that has the potential to change the world? Whether you are a scientist or a student at BOKU, the path from the initial idea to a viable business model can feel like a hike through unknown terrain. But don't worry: with the support of BOKU:BASE, this path becomes a well-marked route – equipped with clear signposts, helpful tools and a good dose of motivation. And best of all, you are not alone!

The first step: don't be afraid of the blank page

The beginning is often the hardest part – whether it's scientific work or developing a business model. But here's the good news: you don't have to come up with the perfect plan right away. With the Business Model Canvas, you can break your idea down into clear building blocks:

  • Who are your customers?
  • What added value do you offer?
  • How do you generate revenue?

Does that sound like complicated business jargon? Don't worry, it's easier than it seems at first glance. Think of the canvas as a puzzle: you put the individual pieces together until a clear picture emerges. And if you get stuck, we are here to support you.

Is the work worth the effort? A resounding YES!

  • The majority of start-ups fail not because of their idea, but because of an inadequate business model.
  • A well-thought business model significantly increases your chances of success.
  • BOKU students and scientists have already realized numerous successful projects – why not you?

Whether you prefer to work with Post-its or digital tools such as Miro or Canvanizer, we will show you how to implement your idea in a structured and effective way.

Support for everyone – researchers and students

Do you have any questions? Do you need feedback or support? BOKU BASE is always there to help.

We also offer workshops and events for students, where you can not only learn how to develop a business model, but also make valuable contacts. You might even find your future team here!

A solid business model is the key to turning your vision into reality – let's bring your idea to life together.
